With Warhammer you become a fearless commander - painting
and assembling mighty fantasy armies to do battle on the tabletop. Warhammer
provides you with the core regiments of two armies, the Valiant Bretonnians,
and the Cold-Blooded Lizardmen. In addition, you get all the rules, background,
and information needed to start playing and collecting in readiness for
battle!
There are no other men whose martial prowess can equal
the Knights of Bretonnia. Bound by chivalrous vows, they fight for the
poor and the innocent against marauding hordes of savage monsters.As
the commander of the Bretonnian army you will have at your disposal 12
Knights of the Realm - pledged to the service of the Lady of the Lake,
upholding knightly virtues in her name. Alongside the knights you also
have 24 bowmen, some of the finest archers in Bretonnia. Now you are ready
to rid the world of the evil ambitions of the Lizardmen.
Lizardmen ruled the world before the coming of mankind. Now they rise again to reclaim their ancient birthright. Nothing less than conquest of the entire world will satisfy their cold and brutal hearts.If you choose to fight with the Lizardmen you'll have 32 Skink archers. These scaly-skinned fighters are not the strongest warriors but they make up for that with sheer numbers, speed and cunning. You also have 20 Saurus warriors - brutish and savage creatures with extremely tough scaly skin. Both are driven by a hunger for world domination, guided by their bloated masters - the Slaan.

In addition to fighting battles, players choose, collect and gradually paint their armies, building up their forces to have bigger, more challenging and more exciting games. Supplements for the game also add a new dimension - Warhammer Magic contains a host of cards and a detailed rulebook explaining how to use devastating magic spells and awesome magic items in your battles. There are also many other armies to choose from, each one covered in great detail in a Warhammer Armies book: hordes of evil creatures like the cunning Skaven, the monstrous creatures of Chaos, brutal Orcs and Goblins, foul Undead or the savage Dark Elves. Pitted against them are the defenders of humanity: the dark armoured warriors of the Empire, with their sometime allies the stalwart Dwarfs and the proud and noble Elves.
